Harbor is a gem. It is our daughters' home away from home. A place where love of learning is first, love of childhood is cultivated, and inspiration abounds. We are truly blessed to be a part of the Harbor family.

Andrea, alumna and parent

The field trips, class sizes, curriculum, and mentoring nature of the community forged for me a foundation that I rely on today and every day. Some of the best things in my life have come from my Harbor experience.

Andrew, alumnus

At the end of her first day of school, when children often miss their relaxed summer routines, Rania wanted to return to her classroom instead of being picked up by me. To me, that is the greatest testament to a fabulous school environment.
